COVID lockdown in China’s Shanghai causing disruptions to meat sector

The COVID lockdown in Shanghai is slowing the nation’s normally booming meat trade.

Restrictions are causing logistics nightmares across the Chinese food industry in a sign that disruptions to the business sector are worsening.

The challenge of moving food in and around Shanghai, whose residents are into a month-long home isolation, highlights similar problems in many other Chinese cities.

Workers forced to lock down are meaning organisations are struggling to operate.

Beijing is continuing to stand strong on its controversial COVID-Zero policy.

China is the world’s biggest buyer of meat, bringing in more than nine million tonnes last year, worth about $32 billion dollars.

Shanghai has been in lockdown for weeks amid efforts to curb infections of coronavirus.
